The H2020 EURECA Project 2

Energy in data center procurement Support sustainable ICT data center procurement in the public sector Why worry about sustainability ? • 3% of world energy is used by data centers (10% in 2030) • Massive demand on digital and cloud services : 90% of applications in the cloud • Data centers’ GHG emissions to exceed the aviation industry • In the UK, objective of 80% reduction of GHG emission by 2050 compared to 1990 • In the UK, universities’ electricity bill 90£ (60% on servers), even higher for banking sector • EU public sector spending is around 2,200 billion € (19% of GDP) 3

Energy in data center procurement Challenges in public sector procurement • Complexity of procurement and legal uncertainty • Frameworks, decentralization, legislations • Procurers tend to favor past practices • Insufficient priority • Low budget for ICT, split incentives, not core business • Lack of technical expertise • Standards and best practices • Evaluation of technologies 4

Energy in data center procurement EURECA project • Assist the public sector in procuring innovative energy efficient and environmentally sound data center products and services • Started 1 st March 2015, for 30 months • Academic and industrial partners across the EU (UK, Germany, Netherlands) • 1 university (UEL), and 7 industrial partners • EU H2020 funded project 5

Energy in data center procurement Market Navigation Cost/benefit analysis Provide Tailored Identify Guidelines energy saving opportunities Knowledge sharing & training platform + the EURECA Tool • Package standards and best practices into a unique tool • Create training curriculum and knowledge sharing events 6

Energy in data center procurement Approach • Lack of technical expertise • EURECA Tool, training programmes • Complexity and Legal Uncertainty • Templates, case studies, knowledge sharing • Insufficient Priority • Awareness and policy recommendations • Stakeholder oriented support • Procurers, Decision Makers, ICT Managers, and Policy Makers 7

Energy in data center procurement The EURECA Tool Start Point to available Do you know No training, resources enough about and expert support your facility? Yes Collect basic A snapshot of Provide information and existing facility calculate relevant KPI’s Energy Saving Recheck opportunities & Use EU CoC & DCMM Identify best practices (how to help identify energy to improve) saving opportunities Case studies, relevant regulations, Signpost Procurement process award criteria, support market directory... End 8

Energy in data center procurement The EURECA Tool • Web platform : https://tool.dceureca.eu • Uses standards and best practices to assess energy efficiency of data center and to provide improvement recommendations • DCMM : Data center maturity model • EU Code of Conduct for Energy Efficiency in Data Centers • Partners expertise in mapping DCMM assessment model to EU CoC recommendations 9

Energy in data center procurement DCMM • Model to benchmark and determine the level of maturity of the energy efficiency and sustainability of data centers • Six levels of maturity from 0 to 5 by areas EU CoC • List of best practices in energy efficiency and sustainability in data centers • For different areas, ranging from physical building, cabinets, IT equipment, software, operating system or business practices (and more) 11
